ANDERSSEN & VOLL ON THEIR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
“A good product builds and expands on tradition but at the same time, it breaks with tradition. Change and elements of surprise stimulates thought and reflection – even for people who are not very interested in design and even if the change is not radical. That tiny second of reflection is the window of opportunity where we can communicate with the users and that is what we are looking for.”

ANDERSSEN & VOLL ON NEW NORDIC DESIGN
“New Nordic isn’t merely a slogan or a description of the collection. It’s a commitment by Muuto to let the brand grow dynamically with the emerging ideas and concerns of young Nordic designers. The term also functions as an invitation, a challenge and a motivation to us as designers.”

In fact, our name Muuto, inspired by the Finnish word muutos, means new perspective.
